Chapter 465: Wind and Rain (6)
The people who ate in the inn were surprised by the ferocity of the man, and then left one after another, making trouble here, and after a while, a large number of soldiers would come, in Jiangxia City, Huang Zu was the out-and-out overlord, making trouble on his territory, that is, looking for death.
"If you don't come, my old bones, I'm going to be broken up." Jia Rong said with a grin.
"My lord." The man burst into tears.
"Let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time, you see my body, it is impossible to escape." The corners of Jia Rong's eyes were sour, and he held back his tears.
The man is Zhang Xiu, after he was caught in Jiangdong, he concealed his identity, escaped Huang Gai's interrogation, and after taking the antidote to restore his strength, he easily escaped, and then he has been looking for Jia Rong's traces, from the original Zhou Tai's water village all the way to Jiangxia County.
"What are you that dare to yell at Lao Tzu in the city." The general confirmed that there was no such person as Zhang Xiu in the city, and stepped forward boldly and said.
Zhang Xiu's face instantly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "If you don't want to live, just say it!" I will fulfill you! ”
Mi Huan saw that Jia Rong's former follower had returned, and her face also showed joy, but she clearly remembered that the martial arts of the two people who followed Jia Rong at the beginning were not weak, and with Zhang Xiu's guard, the road to find the divine doctor would become smoother.
"Be smart!" Jia Rong said in a low voice.
Zhang Xiu understood, stepped forward, grabbed the general's commanding hand, shouted in a low voice, lifted the general, threw it not far away, and smashed a dining table not far away.
The general let out a painful wail, pointed at Zhang Xiu and said, "Kill these people." ”
These soldiers are not easy to mess with, and when they heard this, they all pulled out their swords at their waists and killed Zhang Xiu, and their momentum was quite majestic.
Seeing that the scene was unfavorable to his own side, Mi Huan nervously grabbed Jia Rong's arm.
"Huan'er, don't be afraid, close your eyes." Jia Rong comforted gently, and the pleasure brought by Mihuan's plump figure on his arm was self-evident.
Mihuan nodded and closed her eyes obediently.
Zhang Xiu flashed to the center of the soldiers, and a popping sound sounded, and all the soldiers were lying on the ground crying and wailing.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu was still about to step forward, Jia Rong stopped and said: "This is Jiangxia, you can't mess around, leave here quickly." ”
"I'll let you go this time, be careful when you go out in the future!" Zhang Xiu said coldly, stretching out his foot and kicking a soldier who was very close to him, "Shut up!" ”
Several soldiers looked at Zhang Xiu in fear, endured the severe pain on their bodies, did not say a word, the fine beads of sweat on their faces showed how much pain they were suffering, Zhang Xiu did not show any mercy when he started, there was no half a month of recuperation, and the person in front of him did not want to get out of bed and walk around.
Xianlian Pavilion does not have a branch in Jiangxia City, here is a frequent place for wars between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, there are more than 400 lone wolf soldiers in Jiangxia City, this time Jia Xu is also completely anxious, a total of 2,000 lone wolf soldiers, he sent a thousand people, with Zhou Tai's water military camp as the center, looking for Jia Rong, there are also elite among the lone wolf soldiers, the initial wave is naturally the elite of the elite, each soldier can be in charge, Zuihou selected these are a little worse, but the overall combat effectiveness is still very strong, After being tempered by war, they will grow up rapidly.
So when Jia Rong just entered Jiangxia City, he was discovered by lone wolf soldiers.
"What about Zhao Fan?" As soon as the three of them walked into another inn, Jia Rong asked.
"Lao Zhao, dead." Zhang Xiu's tone was a little choked.
Jia Rong nodded lightly, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Did you find out what happened to the water army camp?" ”
"According to the investigation, it was a general named Ma Yi in the water army camp who fornicated with the Jiangdong Army and put poison in the wine, and they didn't know about the lord." Zhang Xiu replied.
Jia Rong's eyes were red, the water army camp, and he had invested a lot of energy and effort, but now it has come to naught, and Zhou Tai and other generals are nowhere to be found, which is a painful blow to the Xiliang army.
"My lord, General Jiang Qin was captured by the Jiangdong Army, refused to surrender, and was imprisoned in prison."
"Find a way to tell him, let him take refuge in the Jiangdong Army for the time being, hold back his hatred, and wait for the next day." Jia Rong suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.
"Tell me in detail about the major events that have happened in the world recently." Jia Rong remembered the news he heard when he just entered the city, and asked.
Zhang Xiu's face was embarrassed, and he resisted softly: "Lord, let's wait until your injuries are healed." After speaking, Zhang Xiu looked at Mihuan on the side.
Jia Rong's eyes lit up and said, "Don't you listen to my words?" ”
"Huan'er is not an outsider, after General Ben returns to Chang'an, she will be your master's mother." When the eyes are set on Mihuan, he is surprisingly gentle.
Mihuanqiao's face was flushed, but her heart was extremely sweet, Jia Rong said this in front of Zhang Xiu, and he also made up his mind to marry himself.
Zhang Xiu's body was shocked, and she knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Mastermother." ”
When did Mi Huan go through such a battle, he stood in place at a loss.
"Get up and tell me all you know."
"Huan'er, you go and rest first." Jia Rong said.
After Mihuan left, Zhang Xiu told everything that happened in the world.
When he heard that Li Ru rebelled and lost the state, Jia Rong's eyes tightened, in the state, the Xiliang army also paid a lot of effort, just to strengthen the connection with Chang'an, the cost of that cement road is immeasurable, how many Xianbei slaves worked together to complete the huge project.
"Those who rebel against the Xiliang Army will definitely not die well!" Jia Rong's tongue was bitten and he didn't realize it.
"My whereabouts are top secret, and they can't be leaked, arrange for me to leave Jiangxia."
"No!" Zhang Xiu hugged his fists.
The world is in turmoil, at this time as the commander of the Xiliang Army, how anxious Jia Rong is, if Hangu Pass Chang'an is occupied by the coalition army, then many years of hard work will be in vain, what he did not expect is that Li Ru will rebel, can occupy the six counties of Bingzhou in a short period of time, obviously has been planned for a long time, 30,000 Xiliang troops follow him and rebel, is the biggest blow, really let the Xiliang army hurt the bones.
It took countless materials to occupy the annexed state before the princes reacted, but I didn't expect that an effort was being done for others.
The news that Zhang Xiu found Jia Rong was transmitted back to Chang'an through the fast horse in the near future, and Jia Xu was sure that as long as Jia Rong could return to Chang'an, all the problems of the Xiliang Army would be solved, no matter what influence Jia Xu had in the army, he could never replace Jia Rong's position, Jia Rong was the pillar of the Xiliang Army, the center of the soldiers.
Outside the Hangu Pass, the first wave of siege began by the princes' armies.
Close the soldiers in Guo Yan's mobilization, orderly preparation, a series of ballista aimed at the outside of the city, if there is a Hun army or Xianbei army here, will definitely recognize at a glance, this is the crossbow car that makes them smell the color, that powerful power, is still vivid, I am afraid that the first reaction of Xianbei people to see this weapon again is to flee immediately.
There will be a ballista every three meters on the close, and if the princes want to attack the city, they will face an overwhelming number of short guns, such a lethality is enough to make the princes' army cold, in order to completely hit the morale of the princes' army, Jia Xu doesn't care how much such an attack will consume.
Yuan Shao stood under the banner of Shuaizi, and looked coldly at Hangu Pass not far away, the reason why the princes were blocked outside the Tiger Prison Pass was largely because the princes did not work together enough, and there were too many suspicions between each other, and the soldiers were temporarily recruited and their combat effectiveness was insufficient.
But at this time, the soldiers of the princes' army are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they have fought many battles, and they have rich combat experience, as long as they are willing to use their lives, it is only a matter of time to capture Hangu Pass.
"Attack!"
With the issuance of Yuan Shao's order, one by one the rushing cars headed towards Hangu Pass, and the soldiers carried a series of ladders and hurried towards Hangu Pass, they were racing against death, and if they were slow, they would be killed by arrows shot from the city.
This time, the princes were determined to conquer Hangu Pass, and as soon as they came up, they were the most elite troops, and the soldiers on the well were waiting for them, the terrain outside Hangu Pass was not very flat, and the defenders in the city would not give them enough time to repair and level the ground, and it was quite laborious to push the wells.
The boulder fell head, the armor on the soldier's body and the shield in his hand was simply difficult to resist, the boulder was the most deterrent weapon held by the defender in the siege battle, even if it was a rush, it fell apart instantly under the boulder.
"Shoot the arrows!" With Guo Yan's order, the flag danced, and the soldiers did not hesitate to shoot at the dense princes and soldiers in front.
Looking at the tragic situation of the soldiers under the gate, Guo Yan's face did not have any hesitation, war is like this, either you die or I die, and there is no turning back when you open the bow.
The archery skills of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army look at the whole world, and there is no soldier of the princes who can compare, and the terrible shooting rate makes the speed of the siege ladder on the gate greatly reduced.
"Attack!" Li Shun ordered with an indifferent face.
I have done countless actions before, and the soldiers in the trapped camp skillfully showed it, and the ladder set up on the closed was pushed by several soldiers together, listening to the frightened laughter of the coalition soldiers on the ladder, the faces of the defenders showed a happy smile, and the eyes contained all the fighting.
Yuan Shao saw that the first wave of attacking cloud echelons was blocked by the Xiliang army, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, and ordered: "Cloud ladder! ”
The flag danced, and the coalition army once again appeared densely packed with soldiers carrying ladders, bare-chested and bare-backed, galloping towards Hangu Pass.
"Ballista!" Guo Yan ordered.
Under the power of the crossbow arrows, the soldiers had nothing to hide, especially many of the princes' soldiers were not equipped with armor at all, so that the power of the crossbow arrows rose a lot, and even a crossbow arrow directly penetrated three soldiers and then the residual power was undiminished, killing a soldier again.
